“The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “2024 was a successful and busy year for CHEM Trust in fighting this ongoing crisis.”
- “EU took a major step towards banning some of the most harmful chemicals in children's toys and adopted a regulation banning bisphenols from certain food contact materials.”
- “The world moved closer to banning harmful PFAS "forever chemicals"; a new EU regulation requires companies to state if products contain harmful chemicals that interfere with the endocrine system or are persistent and mobile.”
- “Rachel Reeves, then-future Chancellor, indicated Labour's interest in aligning with the EU on chemicals.”
- “In 2024, CHEM Trust finalised its new organisational strategy to guide policy work and internal growth and governance until 2030.”
- “On 27th September 2024, six new trustees were appointed to the board, bringing fresh perspectives and expertise to the charity.”
